You missed the announcement: Kalorama Station, your first love of District post offices, has been spared. After months of fighting, it has been removed from the closure list. Victory can be claimed by you and your neighbors, whom you were told sent more than 2,000 notes to Washington, D.C. Postmaster Gerald Roane. The facility at 14 and T Streets NW, which was slated to be closed because it lost its lease, also may have been saved. The people united can never be defeated, you shout, taking yourself back momentarily to your community organizing days.
“[Those] post offices are just too important to lose,” D.C. Councilman Jim Graham said, adding that he’s working with Roane to identify a government building–possibly the Reeves Municipal Center–where the T Street facility could be relocated.
